Valence Electrons
  • Valence electrons are the electrons in the
    highest occupied energy level of the atom.
  • Valence electrons are the only electrons
    generally involved in bond formation.
  • The valence electrons in the s and p orbitals are
    written around the element symbol.
  • These electrons are then used to determine the
    number of bonds formed in making a molecule.
